Sublingual

by Bill Bissett

sublingual is perhaps the most highly structured yet of bissett's "textual visions." Its first seven poems construct a Genesis, beginning with a poem of birth--our pre- or sub-lingual first breath, a phenomenological gesture of recognition, of both being and belonging, in and of the world. Following this short creation story, the book continues to unfold in luminous and lucid delight.
